San Diego's Star of India in 1967

CBS 8 archive footage of the Star of India in San Diego from Jan. 2, 1967 Original script: "An interesting way to spend a few hours—on a holiday or a weekend---is visiting the old windjammer Star of India at the Embarcadero. Mulling over the story of this century-old sailing ship can conjure up some colorful thoughts of days gone by. The Star of India was launched in 1863—and was in a collision on her maiden voyage with a Spanish brig. She was badly damaged—her crew mutinied, and she had to be put back for repairs. On her second voyage she was caught in a hurricane. To keep her from rolling over, her crew had to cut away her masts. For many years she served as a New Zealand emigrant ship out from England, down the Atlantic, round the tip of Africa to New Zealand—dodging icebergs and fighting gales." The old Star of India rotted and rusted away in San Diego until recent years when she was restored and open to the public. Today it’s one of the area’s finest tourist attractions. Writer Stu Batt provided a history lesson about San Diego’s storied ship. In 2021 she’s still one of the finest attractions in America’s Finest City. She was 104 then and is now 159 years old.
